Radiesse is an advanced, FDA-approved dermal filler composed of unique Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. It provides immediate volume to smooth moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and, most importantly, acts as a biostimulator, triggering your body’s own natural collagen production for long-lasting structural support and skin rejuvenation.
You lose volume and your skin’s underlying support structure weakens as you grow older. At DRC360, our practice is rooted in anti-aging and regenerative medicine. We chose Radiesse because it does more than just fill—it rebuilds. This treatment works in harmony with your body, stimulating your own collagen for a result that is both immediate and progressively more natural over time, perfectly aligning with our philosophy of holistic wellness.

Is Radiesse the Right Solution for You?
Radiesse is a versatile and powerful tool for addressing more significant structural aging, going beyond what many other fillers can do. It is ideal for patients seeking robust lift, definition, and true skin rejuvenation.
Common Conditions Addressed
Loss of Facial Structure & Definition
- Jawline Sagging: Helps redefine the jawline and reduce the appearance of jowls.
- Cheek Volume Loss: Restores volume to the mid-face, providing a natural, structural lift.
Deep Wrinkles & Folds
- Nasolabial Folds: Smooths the “smile lines” that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
- Marionette Lines: Softens the lines that run from the corners of the mouth down to the chin.
Aging Hands
- Volume Loss in Hands: The only dermal filler FDA-approved to restore lost volume to the back of the hands, minimizing the visibility of veins and tendons for a more youthful appearance.
You Are an Ideal Candidate If:
You are experiencing moderate volume loss, sagging, or deep folds and desire a significant, long-lasting improvement. You are a health-conscious individual who appreciates a regenerative approach—you want to look like a refreshed version of yourself by encouraging your body to do what it does best: heal and regenerate.

Your Radiesse Experience at DRC360
Our process is centered on your “wholeness” and comfort, ensuring you feel heard and cared for from start to finish.
- The Consultation: Listening First
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. We don’t just look at a wrinkle; we assess your entire facial structure to understand the underlying cause of volume loss, all while “truly listen[ing]” to your personal goals. This allows us to create a holistic treatment plan that treats you as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. - The Procedure: Precision and Care
As a “Master Injector” certified by the Allergen Institute, Dr. C and his expert team perform your treatment with unparalleled precision. Radiesse is a unique product that requires deep technical skill. We use advanced injection techniques to place the filler exactly where it will provide the best structural support, ensuring your comfort with a formula that includes lidocaine, a mild anesthetic. - The Follow-Up: Ensuring Wholeness
The results from Radiesse evolve over time as your new collagen network grows. Our exceptional follow-up care is designed to monitor this regenerative process. We are your partners in health, ensuring your results settle beautifully and that you feel supported long after your appointment.
Our Guiding Philosophy for Radiesse
At DRC360, Radiesse is a cornerstone of our anti-aging and regenerative medicine practice. We view this treatment as far more than a simple “filler”; it is a biostimulator. Our philosophy, guided by Dr. Cavazos’s deep understanding of the “biochemical changes that occur during aging”, is to use Radiesse as a scaffold to restart your body’s innate collagen-building capabilities.
This approach treats the root cause of aging—the loss of structural collagen—rather than just masking the symptoms. Dr. C’s “Master Injector” expertise ensures the product is placed to create a foundational lift, promoting a regenerative response that restores your skin’s youthful vitality from within. This is the perfect blend of medical science and our heartfelt mission to help you achieve wholeness.
What to Expect: Your Results Timeline
- Immediately After Treatment: You will see a distinct lift and added volume in the treated areas.
- The First Week: You may experience some mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. This is normal and typically subsides within a few days.
- 3-4 Months Post-Treatment: This is when the magic of biostimulation happens. Your body will have absorbed the gel carrier while your CaHA microspheres have been busy stimulating a new network of strong, healthy collagen.
- Final Results (12-18+ Months): Your new collagen structure provides long-lasting, natural-looking support. Most patients enjoy their results for a year to 18 months, or even longer.
Frequently Asked Questions about Radiesse
How Much Does Radiesse Cost?
The cost of Radiesse is based on the number of syringes required to achieve your goals, which can vary significantly depending on the areas being treated (e.g., face, hands, or both). During your personalized consultation, we will provide a clear, transparent quote based on your unique treatment plan.
Is Radiesse Painful?
We are dedicated to creating a “nurturing, welcoming environment”. The Radiesse(+) formulation we use is pre-mixed with lidocaine to significantly reduce discomfort. We also apply a topical anesthetic before treatment. Most patients describe the sensation as a feeling of pressure rather than pain, all managed by the gentle technique of our expert injectors.
How Does Radiesse Compare to Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers?
This is an excellent question. HA fillers (like Juvederm or Restylane) are gels that add volume primarily by attracting and holding water. They are excellent for softer areas and are reversible. Radiesse is a biostimulator. It provides immediate volume from its gel but its main benefit comes from the CaHA microspheres that build your body’s own collagen. It is ideal for structural support, like the jawline, and is not reversible. As part of our comprehensive approach, we will determine which type of filler is right for you.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
One of the greatest benefits of Radiesse is its longevity. Most patients achieve their desired correction in a single treatment session. Because the results are so long-lasting (12-18+ months), touch-up appointments are infrequent, making it a very efficient and effective part of a long-term wellness plan.
At DRC360, we believe in treating “the person first, then the patient”. This means you will never be rushed. Instead, you will be in a “nurturing, welcoming environment” where our team takes the time to listen, understand, and create a plan to help you achieve your ideal self.
